PeteM Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Take the plunge and say top one in first pic is gen (one with black stitch strap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Top EL, bottom gen (gen bezels have a more rounded edge). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchurch Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I am also going bottom one as a genuine. looks on the corners but I don't really know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Like this? Was the pic directed at me? If so, like what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I guess top one is gen. I focus on lugs and what I call "shoulder droop" or case profile as it approaches the corners/lugs. They are both excellent cases though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Bottom's the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lf Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Bottom is gen, the one on ammo strap. The other with a gen strap is Agus/EL/HR/Homer ultimate. Actually, even if if you don't know cases the crystal gives away the gen as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 i'm thinking the bottom is the rep case...there appears to be a gap between the bezel and case on the bottom case ( the one with the ammo strap with white stitching)...i have a case with this gap - it's kinda a recess that you could slip a knife in to remove the bezel...if there's not a recess, then i haven't a clue...

R- All gen bezels, and only a few reps, have this knife notch. I think that the bottoms a gen because of the more rounded edges of the bezel (as mentioned by Drulee), the bezel notch, and the sharper edges on the lugs.

Actually, even if if you don't know cases the crystal gives away the gen as well. I gotta correct myself. I think Wolf and Avitt have this one right. So much for my powers of observation. I am wearing a gen as I write this. Where is that notch when you need it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbiz Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 bottom is gen top EL... though the EL looks a little funny to me... lug edge is always any easy tell for Gen... crisp and flat with a much sharper edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I think Wolf and Avitt have this one right. What am I, chopped liver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanr Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 The straightness of the surfaces and polish job say it all, bottom is gen, who cares what the top is its obvious a bunch of flaws have been polished over and its not something expected from a swiss watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HArwood22 Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 YES bottom with Olive army strap is GEN!!!!!! The El(no strap notches between lugs) also has the bezel notch just on the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbiz Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 No, but fair point. Kbiz- PM me on Wednesday when I am back in the office and I can review what I got on the dials you are looking for. Very good news indeed my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
